He has worked on the buy side and the sell side in many capacities and has managed both bond and equity portfolios, and served as CEO, CIO and Research Director.
From his office in Chicago, Mr. Coxe leads the Global Commodity Strategy investment management team – a collaboration of Coxe Advisors and BMO Global Asset Management – to create and market commodity-oriented solutions for investors.

As CEO of a firm managing both bonds and stocks, he was routinely ranked among the top managers in Canada over the years from 1972 to 1983, when he moved to Bay Street as Strategist and Research Director, and then to Wall Street and ultimately LaSalle Street as Global Strategist.
Mr. Coxe maintains a highly visible presence in the business community as an advisor to Boards, and speaker for business conferences and industry events—and through his weekly conference calls for investors.
